Getting into UMCP for an LEP

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>I applied to University of Maryland, College Park, back in September, as a Government & Politics major. My class rank is good (20/247 weighted, weighted 3.8 GPA), took all honors/AP classes, did sports my freshman and sophomore year, started working my sophomore year and took on two jobs junior year, member of the National Honor Society, etc. </p>

<p>What are my chances of getting in? I wouldn't be concerned, but the fact that my major is an LEP has me a little concerned. I'm also waiting to hear back from them, I know you'll hear a decision by 31 January, but when do they letters usually come?</p>

<p>SATs were average, only an 1810.
CR 670
Math 520
Writing 620, 10/12 on the essays</p>

3

<p>Weighted gpa on a 4.0 scale?</p>

4

<p>Cumulative unweighted GPA is a 3.55</p>

<p>I would edit my original post to put in other information and organize it better, but it won’t let me. With that being said, I took two APs my junior year, the first year they were available to me (3 on Spanish Lang, 5 on English Lang & Comp) and am currently taking AP Psych and APUSH.</p>

<p>UMD: Match</p>

<p>What’s your safety?</p>

<p>I’ve gotten into Lock Haven, University of Pittsburgh, University of Delaware, and Penn State. If UMCP doesn’t pan out, I’ll probably go to Penn State. </p>

<p>Like I said, I’m worried about getting into my major because it’s an LEP and therefore more competitive.</p>

<p>Since you applied really early, I’d say match. If you applied regular it would have been low match. Good luck.</p>

<p>Bump x2</p>

<p>Hoping to hear back from UMCP soon. The only way I’ll end up going there, realistically, is if I get accepted into the Government & Politics LEP.</p>
